Sven-Saw 60th Anniversary Engraved 21" Folding Saw

I bought this saw after a weekend camping trip where nobody brought any real wood cutting tools. I knew that I wanted something lightweight, compact, and yet it needed to be a solid performer. This saw works very, very well. Took it out the weekend after I got it, and tackled a few pieces of fallen wood. I was very impressed with how well it worked, and am very pleased with my purchase. The saw folds up to a package that is about 22" long, 1.5: wide, and .5" thick, so it's very compact for most environments. A backpacker might want to go with the smaller size, which I think is about 5" shorter, but I can fit this one in most of my packs, so I'm ok with the longer size. Folding the unit to its compact size is super simple, although the post on the end can get cockeyed when sliding it all together. A really minor issue, and easy to remedy, but it can be hard to see what the problem is. Assembling for use is likewise easy. Once fully assembled, and tightened appropriately, the saw is rock solid. On my saw, the blade snugs into a small, thin slot that provides some good stability to keep the blade from twisting. The handle might not be the most comfortable, and I can see it getting really cold, as it is all metal, but it provides a good grip, and feels like I could cut a fair amount of wood at a time. A 4" diameter branch was cut nice and smooth in about 30 seconds, and although I didn't do anything bigger, it felt plenty capable of slicing through branches and logs quite a bit thicker. Overall, this saw has quickly earned my respect, and I look forward to years of service from it. Definitely a buy rating from me.

I bought this saw for lightweight hiking. What a good decision! It flies through wood like a hot knife through butter. I couldn't be happier. I love how the blade folds inside the bar so that it is completely covered when the saw is stored. Zero possibility of accidental cuts/snags when the blade is stored. The saw can be set up in less than 60 seconds and stowage is the same. The cutting stroke is a good length. I've used some saws in the past where you are constantly hitting the end of the saw and have to change directions often. This saw felt like a good compromise. Obviously it's not a 3 foot blade, but I found it was perfect. I recommend this saw to everyone who wants a high quality and lightweight option. Pros: -Lightweight -Super Easy Assembly -Hot knife through butter -Safe blade storage -Suitable Stroke Length -Durable

Used it for the first time on our Boundary Waters trip and we cut lots of wood. My son even cut up with ease a fallen tree that was 12” in diameter. It packs up nice and small and is worth the weight in my pack I highly recommend!

Always wanted one of these! Seller had a great price and fast delivery! Tried it out at home, works great! Took it on a canoe camping trip and cut quite a bit of firewood! Found out, it’s easy to “ overpower “! If you try to force it, the blade is SO sharp it really digs in to the wood, if you take it easy , it cuts very fast and efficiently! It’s a Sven Saw! It’s awesome!

Awesome saw. These are lightweight but will tackle some serious limbs or small trees. Great for backpacking because it folds up but opens large enough for real sawing. Great idea. The blade fits inside the handle for transport so that in my pack there are no sharp saw teeth exposed. It takes seconds to open up and be ready to rip up some wood for a campfire. If I was cutting wood for a woodstove at home I'd probably use a chainsaw instead, but on the trail it works.

I love the Sven Saw. I've had one since I was a kid. They cut great, pack up small and are easy to use. They're just wonderful camping saws. I bought this one as a replacement for my Scout Troop. A note about the prior saw - if you use a Sven Saw long enough and hard enough, eventually the rectangular hole where the silver bar goes into the top of the red handle will wear to the point that you can no longer tighten the blade enough. But it took a LOT of very hard use to get to that point. Literally decades of use and abuse by generations of very inexperienced scouts before it finally had to be retired. Amazingly, the blade stayed sharp that entire time. Oddly, however, this particular company sent the saw disassembled. Specifically, the saw blade was not bolted or riveted to the silver bar and the carry cord was just stuffed in the package as a straight length of leather, not tied in a handle. I say "oddly" because the parts were still all nested together just like they are when assembled. So sending it disassembled didn't save any space or shipping over the assembled (but collapsed) configuration. And while assembly wasn't especially hard, I do have to admit that I only noticed the bolt they provided right as I was about to rivet two of the pieces together. I just don't understand why they shipped it disassembled. So five stars for the saw but one star off for this company's choice of delivery.

Taglia molto bene, l'ingombro è minimo, cosa si può chiedere di più,

Nice size, lightweight, compact and cheap to replace blades... Never leave without it! Seems the blade it comes with is best for dead wood and will saw through thick logs with ease.

I've had this saw for a few years now and love it for backpacking. It's a light saw and cut large wood great. It bent on a push stroke my fault so I hat to replace it. MEC stopped selling the 21 in so I was very happy that Amazon carried it.

lightweight and collapses nicely so is easy to pack and carry....was excellent for canoe tripping

Everyone wants to use the saw to cut something. It's sharp, easy to use, safe when stored and looks good. Will buy again !
